ER-6i with Shure Ultra-Soft Flex Sleeves. I don't have them anymore, but they're easily the comfiest.

I would definitely go to one if I was free, and I'd bring e5cs, sr-225s with c-pads, d-66s, and audio-technica cm4s. Pretty common, but yeah.

Well, those earbuds don't leak so you're pretty safe.

HJN50.

I can't vouch for that seller, but 175 + 12 for shipping is a reasonable price. E4Cs went for 200 from some places when they first came out.

Can we get some pictures or more description?

I actually don't think the Shure e4s have that much more bass than the er4ps. They at least didn't have more than amped ER-4Ss. The x5s have a great equalizer too, I would mess around with that for a while. It doesn't sound like you've really listened to them that long either, or at all...

Pull your ear out away from your head, and then it should go right in. If that fails, do it but have your mouth open as well.

M3 has radio. The sound quality's great, not the same as the karma or anything but you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference, and the option of line-out is always there. I don't know about flac battery life, I never used flac when I had one, because the firmware for it wasn't perfect yet...

The Karma has better sound quality, and mine lasted about 13 months before dying, with a healthy amount of abuse (being dropped onto pavement, coming along for jogs, bike rides, snowboarding, being sat on, etc).

EC7 by far.

PMX-60s are crap. It's lucky that you like the G74SL design, because they're the only good behind the head headphones. Koss KSC-55s are good too, but extremely uncomfortable for a lot of people. Almost all behind-the-heads are open, though, including the G74SL. They're close-backed though...

Freaking awesome player, I bought it for 80 with a coupon off of ebay. It's just so stylish.

They're pretty good for the price. Uncomfortable, and with an extremely small soundstage, but the sound quality is surprisingly good. The bass is pretty strong, too.

K240s aren't closed at all, but that's a great price. Get them anyway.

I like the ER-6is more than the Super.Fi.5s, and from what I've read the 3s are a big step below the 5s.

Brand new 20 gig X5s cost about 255 dollars for resellers buying them in bulk. This is a scam. That or the seller has gone completely insane.

In order: Beta C-Pads Flats cut 414s bowls cut and reversed 414s reversed bowls cut comfies unmodded 414s unmodded comfies And uh, toss radioshack pads in there somewhere.

Personally, I find the SR-225 to be just like the SR-60, but better in every single way. With even the 325is, I found small things I liked better in the 60s, but the 225s are just unequivocably better.

Yeah, you can set the options so that all music is selected, including everything in subfolders, and shuffle that.

The Nomad Jukebox line has line-outs..

What does RS mean then? OH GOD Radio Shack's taken over Grado Labs and this was the only way for John to reach out for help!

Oh god, I'm leaving tonight for vacation and I might not get a chance to read the interview until I get back! HURRY IT UP OH GOD PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN

If you liked the er-6s except for the comfort, you'll LOVE er-6is with Shure Ultra-Soft Flex Sleeves. There's a thread on it on the first page of this forum.
